Access to The Comfort Eating Solution™ is provided for the duration of your programme only.

This is because CES is designed as a structured process rather than a library of content. The sessions, videos, emails, exercises and support are intended to work together over a defined period of time, helping you build momentum and create lasting change.

During your programme, you’ll have access to:

* Daily audio sessions
* Course videos and guidance
* Daily email support
* WhatsApp / Message support (*as outlined in the programme instructions)
* Any one-to-one sessions included in your programme

If your programme includes one-to-one sessions, they must be booked and used during the programme period. Unused sessions cannot be carried forward once the programme has ended.

If you’re on a subscription plan, you’ll continue to have access for as long as your subscription remains active.

The reason we work this way is simple.

The Comfort Eating Solution™ isn’t about collecting content. It’s about creating change.

The programme has been designed so that each element supports the others. The audio sessions provide new information and reinforcement, the videos provide guidance, the emails keep you focused, and the support is there whenever life applies pressure.

Together, these create the conditions for change.

And throughout the programme, you’ll never be expected to figure things out on your own.

If you need guidance, have a question, or encounter a challenge along the way, support is only a message away.

Yes. Access to the programme materials is provided for the duration of your programme only.

By the end of The Comfort Eating Solution™, the goal is that you’ve developed the understanding, habits, and sense of control needed to continue confidently on your own.

However, some people find it helpful to maintain access to additional support and reinforcement after the programme has finished.

For that reason, we offer an optional follow-on programme called CES™ Continued.

CES™ Continued provides ongoing access to a growing library of audio sessions, guidance, and additional resources designed to support the habits and routines you’ve built during the programme. It also includes WhatsApp support and discounted one-to-one sessions for members.

Access is provided through a simple monthly subscription, which you can cancel at any time.

That said, this isn’t something you need to think about right now.

For now, your focus should simply be on working through the programme, building your routine, and allowing the process to unfold.

If CES™ Continued feels like the right next step later on, you’ll receive all the information you need before your programme ends.

No.

Everything you need to complete The Comfort Eating Solution™ is included in your programme.

There are optional ways to continue your journey after the programme ends, such as CES™ Continued or additional one-to-one sessions, but these are entirely optional and are not required to achieve success with the programme.

The Comfort Eating Solution™ has been designed to fit into everyday life.

Most members spend around 40–60 minutes per day listening to the daily sessions. Some choose to listen actively, while others listen during activities such as walking, commuting, housework, or relaxing at home.

The most important thing isn’t how you listen.

It’s that you listen consistently.

The programme works through repetition. Each session reinforces the habits, routines, and patterns you’re building, helping them become more natural over time.

Some days you’ll spend a little longer engaging with the programme, while other days may require very little effort at all.

The goal isn’t to add more work to your life.

The goal is to gradually change the way you think about food, eating, and the choices you make around them.

A good rule of thumb is to set aside around one hour per day, knowing that much of this can often fit naturally into your existing routine.

Because repetition is one of the most important ingredients in creating lasting change.

Most people don’t struggle because they don’t know what to do. They struggle because what they know and what they do don’t always match.

For a new way of thinking or responding to become natural, the brain needs repeated exposure to the same information over time.

Think about learning to drive, ride a bike, or use a new piece of technology. Repetition is what turns something that feels unfamiliar into something that feels automatic.

The same principle applies here.

Each session introduces an important idea, perspective, or pattern. By revisiting it several times throughout the week, your brain has the opportunity to become more familiar with it and integrate it more fully.

You may also notice that different parts of a session stand out on different days. That’s completely normal. The more familiar the material becomes, the more opportunity your brain has to absorb what is most relevant to you.

So if you find yourself listening to the same session again, don’t worry.

It’s not repetition by accident.

It’s repetition by design.

And it’s one of the reasons The Comfort Eating Solution™ works the way it does.

For many people, weighing themselves can feel uncomfortable.

If that’s true for you, you’re certainly not alone.

The reason I encourage regular weigh-ins isn’t to judge your progress or determine whether you’ve had a “good” or “bad” day.

It’s simply to gather information.

Body weight naturally fluctuates from day to day. Hydration, digestion, sleep, stress, and many other factors can influence the number on the scales.

That’s why I encourage people to focus less on any single weigh-in and more on the overall trend over time.

When viewed this way, the scales become a source of information rather than a source of emotion.

That said, weighing yourself is not compulsory.

If you find that stepping on the scales creates unnecessary stress, anxiety, or causes you to become overly focused on the number, it’s perfectly reasonable to weigh yourself less frequently — or not at all.

The goal of The Comfort Eating Solution™ is not to create a particular relationship with the scales.

The goal is to create a healthier relationship with food, eating, and yourself.

For some people, regular weigh-ins are a helpful way of tracking progress.

For others, noticing changes in energy, confidence, clothing size, food cravings, and sense of control can be just as valuable.

The important thing is to find an approach that supports your progress rather than distracts from it.

In most cases, yes.

The Comfort Eating Solution™ is not a meal plan and it does not require you to eat specific foods. The programme focuses on eating behaviour, habits, food cravings, routine, and creating a healthier relationship with food.

This means it can usually be followed alongside a wide range of dietary approaches, food preferences, allergies, intolerances, and medically recommended eating plans.

If you have a medical condition such as diabetes, take medication that requires food at certain times, or have any other health concerns, you should always follow the advice of your doctor or healthcare professional.

The programme is designed to work alongside appropriate medical guidance, not replace it.

If you’re unsure whether any part of the programme is suitable for your circumstances, please feel free to reach out and ask before getting started.

Both approaches can be helpful.

Active listening means setting aside time to focus on the session without distractions. This might involve sitting comfortably, going for a walk, or simply giving the session your full attention.

Passive listening means listening while doing something else that doesn’t require much mental effort, such as walking, relaxing, travelling, or doing routine tasks around the house.

Whenever possible, I encourage active listening because it allows you to engage more fully with the material and often helps important ideas stand out more clearly.

However, passive listening can also be extremely valuable.

The most important thing isn’t how you listen.

It’s that you listen consistently.

The Comfort Eating Solution™ is built around repetition. The more regularly you’re exposed to the sessions, the more opportunity you have to absorb the ideas, perspectives, and patterns they contain.

So if life gets busy, don’t worry about listening perfectly.

Just keep listening.

Consistency matters far more than perfection.

Don’t worry.

Life happens. Work gets busy, routines get disrupted, people travel, get sick, or simply have days where other things take priority.

If you miss a day — or even a few days — don’t try to catch up by doubling up on sessions or rushing through the programme.

Simply pick up where you left off and keep going.

The Comfort Eating Solution™ is not about perfection.

It’s about consistency over time.

The programme has been designed with real life in mind, which is one of the reasons sessions are repeated throughout the week. Missing an occasional day is unlikely to have any significant impact on your progress.

What matters most is that you return to the process and continue moving forward.

And if you ever find yourself feeling stuck, confused, or unsure about what to do next, please reach out.

That’s exactly what the support is there for.

Sometimes a quick message is all that’s needed to get things back on track.

Progress comes from continuing the journey, not from doing everything perfectly.

First of all, this is extremely common, so if this is happening to you, there is usually nothing wrong.

What often happens is that when your body notices weight dropping quickly, it becomes cautious for a while. From the body’s point of view, sudden weight loss can sometimes look like food has become scarce. Your body’s number one job is to keep you alive, so it briefly slows things down to preserve energy.

It’s almost like your body is saying:

“Hold on a second… what’s going on here? Are we safe?”

During this period, your metabolism can slow slightly while your body waits to see whether this change in eating is temporary or whether it’s the new normal.

Now here’s the interesting part.

If you keep doing what you’re doing — sticking to your eating time, protecting your non-eating time, and listening to the audios — your body gradually realises that there is no emergency. Food is still coming. It’s just coming in a more structured way.

Once your body recognises the new pattern and begins to trust it, weight loss usually begins again.

In the meantime, you may still notice changes such as:

• Clothes feeling looser
• A belt tightening another notch
  Your body shape changing slightly
• Even if the scale hasn’t caught up yet.

The important thing here is consistency. Your body needs time to see that the pattern you’re creating is safe and predictable.

Not necessarily. In fact, this is how weight loss usually works.

Many people expect weight loss to look like a steady downward line on a graph — losing a little bit every week.

But in reality, it usually looks more like steps.

You might see:
• A drop in weight
• Then a pause for a few weeks
• Then another drop

That pause doesn’t mean nothing is happening. It often means your body is adjusting and recalibrating.

One of the most important things to understand here is the difference between intention and behaviour.

Your intention is what you mean to do.

For example, you might intend to:
• eat well
• stick to your schedule
• avoid snacks
• follow the structure

And from your perspective, you might feel like you’re doing your best — and you probably are.

But your body doesn’t respond to intention.

Your body responds to what actually happens repeatedly.

Think of it like meeting a friend somewhere.

Imagine you have a friend who is always trying their best to arrive on time. They genuinely mean well.

But sometimes they arrive early.
Sometimes they arrive late.
Sometimes they cancel.

From their point of view, they’re doing their best.

But from your point of view, you can’t really rely on them.

Your body works in a similar way.

It learns from patterns and prediction.

If your behaviour becomes clear and consistent, your body can predict what’s happening and respond accordingly.

So during slower periods, focus on the structure:
• Stick to your eating time
• Protect your non-eating time
• Keep listening to the audios
• Encourage yourself rather than criticise yourself

Encouraging yourself simply means recognising the behaviours you’re getting right.

For example:

“I kept my eating window today.”
“I avoided snacking between meals.”
“I listened to my audio.”

Reward yourself for those behaviours.

Weight loss is the result of behaviour. So reward yourself for the behaviour — not just the result.

This is something I come across quite often.

People will say things like:
• “I’m mostly stopping eating at 8pm.”
• “I’ve mostly cut out wine.”
• “I’ve mostly avoided treats.”

And that’s good progress.

But there’s an important point here.

That level of “mostly” consistency is often enough to maintain weight — but not always enough to reduce it.

Your body responds to the clarity of the pattern you create.

Think of your body like a child learning how the world works.

If a child experiences something consistently, they learn to trust it.

But if the message changes all the time, the child becomes unsure and cautious.

Your body behaves in a very similar way.

If the pattern is:

Eating → digestion → rest → fat burning

then your body begins to recognise and support that pattern.

But if the pattern is:

Eating → snack → digestion → snack → digestion → meal → snack

then digestion is being restarted constantly, and the body rarely enters the fat-burning stage.

This is why clear eating time and clear non-eating time are so important.

You don’t have to be perfect.

But you do need to be clear enough and consistent enough for your body to understand what you’re doing.

This problem is less common. Because when immediately you cut back on your calorie intake, the needle on the scale tends to move downwards.

But it can happen, that the scale hasn't moved down. In that situation, the achievement might be that the needle hasn't moved "upwards" either. Remember that if you're in the process of gaining weight due to eating behaviour, even in the previous days before you began the program, then the big shift is that the weight hasn't settled "on you".

In the early stages of the program, the most important goal is building the routine, not immediate weight loss.

Your body first needs time to recognise that something new is happening.

You’re introducing a different structure:
• defined eating windows
• long digestion breaks
• less snacking
• more awareness around food

If you imagine teaching a child a new routine, you wouldn’t expect them to understand it perfectly in the first week.

Your body works in a similar way. It needs time to learn the new rhythm.

Once the rhythm becomes clear and consistent, weight loss tends to follow much more easily.

So early in the program, focus on the behaviours:
• keeping your eating window
• protecting your non-eating time
• staying connected to the hypnosis audios

The more normal this routine becomes, the more naturally your body will begin to respond.

I actually recommend the opposite.

Keep weighing yourself.

The scale is not there to judge you — it’s there to give you information.

Think of it as data.

When you weigh yourself regularly, you create a record of your journey. Over time, those numbers tell a story.

Very often that story looks like this:
• a few weeks of little movement
• then a sudden drop
• then another pause
• then another drop

It reveals how your body is a biological entity. It feels and anticipates. It contains inherent knowledge and even wisdom. It is "the body-mind" and it works with you. 

The graph becomes a record of how you've been working "with it". And how it is responding to that relationship.

If you stop weighing yourself, you lose that information.

I encourage people to start weighing themselves early in the program for exactly this reason — so that when the weight loss happens, you can actually see the journey on a graph.

Another interesting thing you may notice is that sometimes the scale stays very steady.

Your weight might not go down, but it also doesn’t go up.

That’s actually quite unusual, because body weight normally fluctuates quite a lot from day to day depending on things like hydration, digestion, sleep, and stress.

So if your weight is holding steady for a period of time, that can sometimes mean your body is in a holding pattern.

It’s almost as if your body is waiting to see whether the new pattern you’re creating is reliable and safe before it decides to release more weight.

Once it recognises that the pattern is consistent, it often begins releasing weight again.

Something else I’ve noticed over the years is that these plateaus sometimes occur during periods of stress — particularly when feelings are being suppressed or held in rather than expressed.

When that happens, the body can behave as if it needs to conserve energy. In a sense, it may “hold onto” weight or energy because it senses that something isn’t quite settled yet. From a biological perspective, if the brain perceives stress or unresolved tension, it can become a little more cautious about burning energy that might be needed if a fight-or-flight response were required.

That doesn’t mean anything is wrong — it simply means your body may be responding to more than just food.

This is another reason why the program also focuses on expression, awareness, and listening to the audios, not just eating patterns.

So keep recording the data.
Don’t internalise the numbers — just observe them.

Over time, those numbers will tell the story of your journey.

That frustration is completely understandable.

But it’s important to remember something very simple:

Your body responds to what you do, not to how frustrated you feel about it.

Frustration often leads people to criticise themselves.

They might think things like:

“I should be doing better.”
“Why can’t I get this right?”
“This isn’t working.”

But if you imagine speaking to a child or a friend the way you sometimes speak to yourself, you might notice something interesting.

Encouragement usually produces better results than criticism.

If a child was learning a new routine and doing reasonably well, you probably wouldn’t keep telling them it’s not enough.

You’d encourage them.

Your brain and body respond in a similar way.

Encouragement keeps behaviour moving forward.

Criticism often leads to discouragement or giving up.

So instead of focusing only on the scale, focus on what you are doing right:
• keeping the structure
• sticking to your eating window
• protecting your non-eating time
• staying connected to the audios

Those behaviours are what eventually produce the result.

First — this is important.

If your weight has stopped, your body is not failing you.

It’s doing exactly what you’ve trained it to do.

Your brain doesn’t judge weight gain as bad or weight loss as good.

It doesn’t think like that.

It simply learns from your behaviour.

So if, over the years, your pattern has been:
• eating regularly
• snacking between meals
• periods of overeating
• maintaining your weight
• or gradually gaining weight

Then your brain has learned something very clearly:

“Maintaining or gaining weight is important. This is normal. This is what we do.”

Not because you wanted that…

But because that’s the behaviour you repeated.

And your brain’s job — which hasn’t changed in thousands of years — is to keep you alive and safe.

That usually means:

Store energy when it’s available. Don’t let it go too easily.

So when you now decide you want to lose weight, your brain doesn’t automatically switch over.

It keeps running the old pattern until you give it a clear reason to change.

⸻

So what does a plateau actually mean?

A plateau is your body saying:

“I understand this pattern… and I can maintain your weight here.”

Your body has become efficient at your current routine.

So if nothing changes, nothing changes.

⸻

This is where most people get stuck

They keep doing the same things and hope the weight will start moving again.

Or they are:
• “mostly” sticking to the plan
• “mostly” avoiding snacks
• “mostly” being consistent

And that level of “mostly” is often enough to maintain your current weight, but not enough to reduce it.

⸻

So what do you do?

You need to change the message you are sending to your body.

Not by thinking differently.

By behaving differently — clearly and consistently.

⸻

1. Turn “mostly” into “always” (for now)

Be very clear with your structure:
• clear eating window
• no snacking between meals
• consistent routine every day

This is how your brain begins to recognise:

“We are no longer maintaining weight. We are now reducing weight.”

⸻

2. Increase the signal

If your body has adapted to your current routine, you may need to make the change more noticeable.

That might mean:
• slightly increasing your non-eating time
• reducing how much you are eating
• reducing carbohydrate-heavy foods for a short period

Not forever.

Just enough to make the message clear.

⸻

Think of it this way

Right now, you are not just trying to lose weight.

You are trying to teach your body something new.

And your body doesn’t learn from what you want.

It learns from what you do repeatedly.

So if the behaviour is unclear or inconsistent, your body stays where it is.

But when the behaviour becomes clear and repeated, your body begins to respond.

⸻

Go back to the fundamentals

This is also a good time to tighten the basics:
• slow your eating down
• eat more mindfully
• feel full on less food

Go back to Program Preparation Video #1 and refresh that.

⸻

Final point

This doesn’t need to be extreme forever.

But it may need to be clearer than it currently is.

So for the next couple of weeks:
• increase your commitment
• tighten your structure
• step slightly outside your comfort zone

And then observe what happens.

⸻

Your body is always responding.
Make sure it’s responding to the right message.

This is something many people notice during the programme.

The scale measures your total body weight, but it doesn’t tell you everything that’s happening inside your body.

Your weight can fluctuate from day to day for many reasons, including hydration, digestion, and normal biological changes.

As a result, it’s possible for your clothes to fit differently, your belt to tighten, or your body shape to change before those changes are reflected on the scale.

That’s why I encourage you to pay attention to more than just your weight.

Changes in how your clothes fit, how bloated you feel, your energy levels, and your overall relationship with food can all be important signs of progress.

The scale can be useful, but it doesn’t always tell the whole story.

This is a very common experience.

Many people expect weight loss to happen in a steady, predictable line. In reality, weight often changes in a much less straightforward way.

It’s quite normal for the scales to stay the same for days, weeks, or even longer before moving again.

This can happen for many reasons, including normal fluctuations in hydration, digestion, hormones, stress, and other factors that have nothing to do with fat loss itself.

In fact, it’s not unusual for people to experience periods where their weight remains unchanged for a week or more before beginning to move again. For some people this may last only a few days, while for others it can last several weeks.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that nothing is happening or that the programme has stopped working.

That’s why it’s important not to judge your progress based on a single weigh-in or even a single week.

Instead, focus on the habits you’re building and the consistency you’re creating.

If your weight remains stable for a period of time, try not to interpret that as failure. Plateaus are a common part of many people’s experience and do not necessarily mean that progress has stopped.

Remember, progress isn’t always visible immediately. The important thing is to stay focused on the process and continue moving forward.

Many people expect that eating less often will make them feel hungrier.

Surprisingly, the opposite is often reported.

As eating becomes more structured and snacking becomes less frequent, many people notice that their hunger feels calmer, more predictable, and less demanding than before.

One reason for this is that constant grazing and frequent eating can sometimes create a cycle of thinking about food, anticipating food, and responding to food throughout the day.

When eating becomes more structured, that cycle often begins to settle.

Many people also find that they become better at recognising the difference between genuine physical hunger and the habit of eating because food is available, because it’s a certain time of day, or simply because they’re thinking about it.

This doesn’t mean you’ll never feel hungry.

It simply means that hunger often becomes clearer, more predictable, and easier to understand.

In fact, one of the most common things people say during the programme is:

“I’m thinking about food much less than I used to.”

This is a very common experience.

Many people expect weight loss to happen in a steady, predictable line. In reality, weight often changes in a much less straightforward way.

It’s quite normal for the scales to stay the same for days, weeks, or even longer before moving again.

In fact, some people notice that after a period where their weight appears unchanged, the scales suddenly drop by several pounds over a relatively short period of time.

This can happen for many reasons, including normal fluctuations in hydration, digestion, hormones, stress, and other factors that have nothing to do with fat loss itself.

That’s why it’s important not to judge your progress based on a single weigh-in or even a single week.

Instead, focus on the habits you’re building and the consistency you’re creating.

If your weight remains stable for a period of time, try not to interpret that as failure. Plateaus are a common part of many people’s experience and do not necessarily mean that progress has stopped.

Remember, progress isn’t always visible immediately.

This is one of the most surprising things many people experience during the programme.

At first, the idea of going longer without food can seem difficult. But after a few days, many people discover that it actually becomes easier than they expected.

In fact, one of the most common comments I hear is:

“I’m thinking about food much less than I used to.”

Part of the reason is that your body and brain quickly learn patterns.

When eating happens regularly throughout the day, it’s easy to fall into a cycle of constantly thinking about food, looking for food, or wondering when you’ll eat next.

As your eating routine becomes more structured, many people find that food takes up less mental space. Hunger often feels more predictable, cravings become less frequent, and the urge to eat “just because” becomes easier to manage.

This doesn’t mean you’ll never feel hungry.

It simply means that hunger often becomes clearer, calmer, and easier to understand.

For this reason, I encourage people to focus on creating a consistent routine rather than seeing how long they can go without eating.

The goal isn’t to push yourself.

The goal is to create a pattern that feels sustainable and easy to repeat.

That’s what tends to produce the best long-term results.

The Comfort Eating Solution™ is designed as a 12-week guided programme rather than a library of content.

Each day introduces a specific session, exercise, video, or idea that builds on what you’ve already completed. Releasing the programme gradually helps you stay focused on the step you’re currently taking rather than feeling overwhelmed by everything that’s still to come.

It also encourages something that is central to the programme: repetition.

Many of the most important changes come not from constantly moving on to something new, but from spending enough time with an idea, routine, or session for it to become familiar and easier to apply in everyday life.

For this reason, a new module becomes available each day rather than giving access to all 84 days at once.

A new module unlocks automatically each morning at 5:00am, so if you’re an early riser, have children, work shifts, or simply like to start your day early, your next day’s content will already be available.

Remember, the goal isn’t to get through the programme as quickly as possible.

The goal is to create lasting change over time.

Falling asleep occasionally is completely normal.

Many people listen in the evening or at the end of a busy day, and sometimes they naturally drift off during a session.

If this happens from time to time, there’s no need to worry. Simply continue with the programme as normal.

However, if you find yourself falling asleep almost every time you listen, it may be worth looking at when and how you’re listening.

In many cases, it’s simply a sign that you’re tired.

Remember, this programme is an investment in yourself. If you were taking part in an important work training programme or studying for an exam, you’d probably make some adjustments to give yourself the best chance of success. The same principle applies here.

You may find it helpful to:

• listen earlier in the day
• sit upright rather than lie down
• make sure you’re getting enough sleep
• choose a time when you’re naturally more alert

That said, you don’t have to listen perfectly.

If active listening is difficult because you’re tired, you can also listen while walking, travelling, or doing other routine activities that don’t require much mental effort.

The goal isn’t to stay awake at all costs.

The goal is to stay engaged with the programme consistently and find a routine that works for you.

This is a very common concern.

Most people start the programme with busy lives, competing priorities, family commitments, work responsibilities, and plenty of other demands on their time.

The first thing to remember is this:

Don’t panic, and don’t be hard on yourself.

The programme is designed to fit into real life, not require you to put your life on hold.

Whenever possible, I recommend listening to the sessions as often as suggested. However, if you miss a session or have a particularly busy day, simply continue with the programme and do your best to return to your routine the following day.

Remember, consistency matters more than perfection.

Many people find it helpful to build listening into parts of the day that already exist, such as:

• during a walk
• while travelling
• during a lunch break
• while cooking or doing routine tasks at home
• while relaxing in the evening

Some people prefer to set aside dedicated listening time, while others combine active and passive listening throughout the day.

There is no single “perfect” way to do it.

The key is to find a routine that works for you and that you can maintain consistently.

If you’re struggling, don’t assume you’re the only one.

Almost everyone has to experiment a little before finding a listening routine that fits comfortably into their day.
